When they tried to stop the sedan, it drove erratically on the wrong side of the road and nearly hit several cars. At a gas station, an officer finally bumped the car to make the driver stop.
Police say the driver then tried to escape by driving forward toward several officers and rammed a patrol car before she was shot.
One officer received minor injuries.
